‘The students are revolting?’ ‘Utterly!’
Universities inductive
Of bad kinds of girl and boy?
When these kids try being constructive,
All they do is to destroy,
For defacing some old statues
Seems to fill them all with joy;
With no mind for people that use
Books, for arson they deploy.
They all need a little spanking
On each naughty little bot —
They should know who needs the thanking
For facilities they’ve got;
And to think these things are owed them
They should learn is simply rot;
Plants: somebody else has growed ‘em,
Now they think they own the plot?

My blood just starts boiling every time I see something relating to these protests. Unfortunately I think the youth nowadays have been brought up to think that they are entitled to everything

Unfortunately it does seem that illusions of entitlement without payment, and of rights without responsibilities, are prevalent.

Revolting is about right as in disgusting. They want free education for not passing…paid to fail.

Also, they want to footle about at university without having demonstrated that they are actually university material. Then they get pushed through anyway to keep up the numbers. The rot was already setting in when I did my degree. I couldn’t believe it when, in second year for some subjects, I found people who had effectively demonstrated, during lectures, that they hadn’t a clue and were incapable of finding one.

There’s complaining, and there’s complaining, Col. Anything destructive, in my eyes, obliterates the point no matter how valid it may be.

Here, the actual complaints are invalid and the method of registering them unacceptable. They are trying to kill horses to stop them eating the chickens.

Sadly, those who should receive this gospel are too dim for it to register.

All for the birching of bad boys; spare the rod and spoil the child.
A “bloody good hiding” as it was termed when I was a boy didn’t do me much harm;
Then again it probably didn’t do much good either.

It is far quicker and more effective towards adjusting behaviour than the most eloquent lecture.
